I'm hoping CNK will push up wanting that ball.
His direct running at 6 could be a huge help to us, particularly if he stays there with SJ back at 7.
Feels a big leap to make that selection though for Webby. It's likely this combo will run out against the Dolphins too. Two solid outings may...
Think the only thing in our favour is that Schneider is also ruled out.
Luai can easily do a number on us, but we should be targeting him.
With a bit of luck, they will be slightly clunky but I don't expect them to need to be at their best to win this game
I'm not telling stories lol.
That's a direct quote from Mohawk - so you either have to believe the owner of the club or a shit stirring newscorp journalist.
Gosh I wish Bruce was still around, this choice might have put him in a tail spin.
You have to take these articles with a grain of salt - all coaches make out like they know what's going on - until they don't like Seibold in the finals days of his Brisbane stint "I'm pretty sure I'm the right guy to coach this team...." - then they get sacked
From an article about his extension - direct quote from Mohawk

This article is full of rubbish.
Webster negotiated his own contract extension directly with the club - highly unlikely he is in the Moses stable.
As for the SJ comments - how would James Hooper have the contract scoop on Johnson - our organisation doesn't let anything out they don't want...
I don't buy into this at all.
Teams do not lift against us.
We have a game plan that invites teams to match us. We've not been able to keep with them when they do!
And as for checking out after Manly, in round 6?!? Come on... There is frustration that things are not working but I haven't seen...
What's going on today! This is some solar flare shit.
I read the article which doesn't name anyone or a club. The video played on mute showing the Dolphins. It's a short list of Dolphins to play for QLD who might be considered a star...
But you should be able to train simple defensive reads.
Question for you, if DWZ was 20% slower but defended 20% better - does that change any of our results?
Possibly - when you have RTS and Taine behind you, there is always an amount of pressure.
That being said, someone needed to play 6 and most of us came to the same conclusion that it would have to be Taine.
With much less experience, the coaches seem to have opted for Taine to slot back into...
Depth is an issue but I can see us rolling out a 2025 backline of:
1. CNK / Taine
2. RTS
3. Ali / Pompey
4. Berry / Pompey
5. Montoya / Pompey
I don't know much about the juniors, I hear a name called Kali bounced around a bit. Setu Tu as well.
I think we can cover a DWZ exit.
Bennett's career will end in tears I reckon.
He simply cannot give it up. Doesn't need to yet, but the time will come when he has to.
I get the feeling his end will be decided by someone else - as in letting him go and no one signing him - he will make a big stink in the media about it...
